Seems that I am progressing some! I have been getting fairly discouraged with lifting heavier and getting more muscular. I particularly hate the day that deadlifting comes up - back day. I have struggled with my grip and foot position. Finally figured out that I do well with the Sumo style of foot position. My trainer had to tell me to just think of it as a squat. Between the two I was able to deadlift 185 pounds which is about 30 pounds more than I have been doing. So hopefully that is a trend that will stay.
Yesterday, I actually had a little bit of an audience for squatting (which was weird cause it was all men). I squatted 165 which I guess is only 5 pounds away from the leading power lifter in my weight class (tiny- lol) at the Master's level. That is probably because there are only like 2 women doing the power lifting and not that this is so great on my part..LOL..My trainer seems to think I can go to Olympia with this?? strange thought...but hell sounds kind of exciting to me and I am all about that. So I this was the ole' leg work out yesterday:
Squats: 95: 12; 105: 10; 135: 8; 150: 6; 165: 4
Straight Legged Deads: 85: 12; 105: 12, 12
Seated Calf Raise: 90: 8, 8, 8
Extension: 100: 10; 120: 8, 8
Outer Thigh: 140: 12; 160: 12; 180: 8
Inner Thigh: 100: 10; 105: 8, 8
Leg Cable Curl: 50 pounds, 3 sets each leg
Seated Leg Press: 340: 12; 360: 10: 380: 8
Dumbbell Lunge: 20 pounds 4 sets of 8
Getting ready to go out and run a fiver today before it pours down rain. Tonight after work, I have ballet. This I love and have done for about 4 years. My extension sucks because of doing weight training - but it keeps me from going backwards flexibility wise.
Tomorrow I am attending a powerlifting event at our gym - benching for cash. I am not a participant, but I get to be a "weiner girl" LOL -- meaning I get to hand out free hotdogs. That should be if nothing at least interesting and.... I get to see what a meet is actually like. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
